I am researching the Descendants of :
Washington Henry Locke b. 1803 Va , d. 1872? place not known , and wife
Mariah Mary Hoback b. 1813 Ky
Washington and family were known to have been in Hardin County Ky in 1840
Census , and then listed in LaRue County Ky in 1850 Census . Some time after
the 1850 Census they all moved to Bartholomew County Indiana by 1860 Census .
I loose this family after 1860 and can not find them listed anywhere in the
1870 Census . I found 2 of Washington's children in the 1880 Fannin County
Texas Census , George Sims Locke and Jacob Monroe Locke , but one other
Brother was also later found in Fannin County Texas , Lemuel Cye Locke .
I just learned that one other child of Washington , Hensley R. Locke went to
Marion County Indiana by 1880 . So it seems the children of Washington and
Mariah went thier seperate ways pryor to 1880 .
I am at a loss as to why I can not find Washington and family listed in the
1870 Census . Knowing where they all were between 1860 to 1879 would be a hugh
help to me .
I am told that one other child of Washington ended up in Champane County ILL
John G. Locke or John T. Locke , not sure which is correct yet
I got a phone call from a newly found Cousin and he told me that he was a
descendant of Hensley R. Locke , Son of Washington Henry Locke . This is a new
branch which we didn't know about untill now :)
We had assumed because Hensley R. Locke had never been found in our research
that he had died young , the only source todate on Hensley that we had found
, was that he was listed with his Father Washington in the 1860 Bartholomew
County Indiana Census .
Thanks in advance for any help or suggestions
